Hello frens

Today I am posting the recipe for Dhaniya chutney/ coriander dip which is the most important accompaniment of various types of pakoras, cheelas and yes paranthas too!! Just a simple coriander dip can simply enhance the taste of a  pakodas. It is heart of many street foods like chaats, gol gappas etc. Fresh coriander has its own subtle taste and has many health benefits too.
